Another GMK3060L-1 joins ALM’s 100% Grove fleet
French crane rental company Alsace Levage Manutention (ALM) has maintained its commitment to a 100% Grove fleet with the arrival of its fifth all-terrain crane, a GMK3060L-1. Christophe and Sandrine Fenard, the company’s leadership and children of the founder Jean-Paul Fenard, have been loyal Grove customers ever since the all-around capabilities of their GMK3050, purchased in 2001, impressed them. Today, owner and operator Christophe Fenard appreciates the superb load charts and powerful, seven-section 48 m MEGAFORM® boom of his new crane, which delivers unrivalled lifting capacities such as the ability to lift 0.7 t at a 42 m radius.
“The GMK3060L-1’s superb strength and high reach are ideally suited to tasks of positioning swimming pools in gardens, setting up containers, and supporting lots of different jobs in the field of construction. The Grove 60 t all-terrain crane helps us develop our business around Nancy and Strasbourg while maintaining good market share in Alsace,” he explained. “A lot of that work will be on tight jobsites, so the fact that it is the most compact crane in the 60 t class, with the smallest tailswing, was also a very important factor in our buying decision.”

“I also love its fast setup and the ease of use enabled by the Crane Control System (CCS) – so whether I’m handling delicate items like grand pianos or bulky sections, I know the GMK3060L-1 will get the job done quickly and efficiently.”
Following the order of the crane at bauma 2025, it was displayed at JDL Expo 2025 in Beaune this September. After the show, it was driven away by the customer to join another GMK3060L-1, GMK4100L-2, GMK5150XL , and GMK5250XL-1 at ALM’s bases in Nancy and Strasbourg, from where the firm provides lifting services around the Alsace and Lorraine regions.
